Object / Sense

This book expresses the connection between sense and object. How can we use one sensation to describe another? Each original work is related to one of the five senses: Smell, Taste, Feeling, Hearing, and Sight. The book talks about how we can use all of our senses to understand and communicate with each other better.

“Only relying on the presentation of an object can lead one to ruin — a pitfall for many designers. This work talks about the relationships that senses have with our environment/how they interact with each other. Each sensation has an accompanying project — leading towards a psychological understanding of human experience. My message: Graphic design is a tool. We can express a broader topic (such as Art, Beauty, and Music) through this, but we should not only focus on a thing’s appearance (reject sight). Absorb the whole being, and express with one’s entire essence.”
